Tourist attractions in champasak

Champasak Wapu Temple (WatPhuChampasak；; Tickets are 30,000 kip；; ; 8: 00 am to 4: 30 pm) is one of the most fascinating historical sites in Laos. The site is divided into two parts, the bottom and the top, which are connected by steep stone steps. The whole site is ready to be repaired, but the progress of this project seems to be very slow.

The bottom consists of the ruins of two palaces beside a huge square pool, which is divided into two parts by a rainwater channel used for baptism ceremony. The upper part is the main hall of the temple, where a huge Shiva genitalia was once enshrined. But later, the temple was changed into a Buddhist temple, but the original Hindu sculpture remained on the threshold. In the north of Shiva's genital hall, there is an elephant stone and a mysterious crocodile stone. The Naga steps leading to the temple are lined with dokjampa trees. On the upper platform, you can overlook the spectacular Mekong River basin at the foot of the road.

In addition to the Wapu Temple Fair in champasak, an annual ceremony will be held every February to dedicate the buffalo to Chao Tengkam, the land god in charge of champasak. The blood of the buffalo will be provided to the local wizard, who is the medium for the appearance of the land god.

Bai Xi ba se

Pakse, the capital of Champasak province, is also the southernmost city in Laos. It was built by the French in 1905 and is located at the intersection of Mekong River and its tributary Sedang River.

Baixi was ruled by the Khmer Angkor dynasty during the10 ~13rd century. There are magnificent ruins of Angkor Imperial City in the territory, the largest of which is WatPhu, 46 kilometers away from Baixi, which is the main target of tourists coming to Baixi. There are no scenic spots, museums and temples in the urban area, but the living conditions are good, which is suitable as a base for advancing to the Boravan Plateau and Siphandone.

There is a bridge across the Mekong River, but both sides of the Mekong River are Lao territory, so it is still a little far to Thailand. It is recommended to buy a package ticket from a travel agency to Thailand.

Shifosi Hefu

As a world heritage, the importance of Wafer is self-evident. People who have been to Angkor Wat will feel very similar, or basically similar, but Angkor Wat is mostly built on the flat ground, while Wafu is deliberately built on the hillside, which makes people condescending and has a good view. There are also some Buddha footprints, crocodile sculptures, elephants, springs and other things in it. Even if you have been to Angkor Wat, you will still find it quite novel to come here.

There is a museum next to the parking lot, and everything is collected from the temple.

Polofen plateau

Several locations are relatively remote, so it is almost impossible to go by bus. The travel agency in Baixi Bashe has launched many itineraries, including two days, one night and one whole day. The difference between the two is that you can ride an elephant in Tatlow on a two-day trip, and it is worthwhile to go there for two days. The contents include four waterfalls and villages.

TatFan: Two waterfalls with a drop as high as 120m may be too foggy to be seen in rainy season.

TatYuang: It's magnificent and beautiful. You can swim and walk 2 kilometers.

TatLo: Located in the resort, it is well organized and belongs to a stepped waterfall.

PhasoumeResort: This is an entertainment area with two curtain waterfalls, one large and one small, and a tribal exhibition area.

Indigenous villages: The local people can't speak Lao yet, and they are naked. The children are either naked or have no pants to wear, and all of them are bloated because of the lack of protein. There will be children performing hookahs. If you want to go, remember to bring some biscuits, bread and candy. Don't take pictures of others without giving anything! This is the real village! Real poverty!

Coffee Garden: Bolaven hillside is one of the best coffee producing areas in the world, with dense fog and weak sunshine. Vietnam's own coffee exports rank second in the world, but it still imports Lao coffee. Buy it if you want.
